Driving to Nauvoo?
Here are some things to see along the way
With a car full of kids, you'll need more than a GameBoy to keep them entertained on your pilgrimage to Nauvoo. Here are a few suggestions of places to stop along the way to stretch your legs. They include historic sites, an art museum and a top-notch zoo in America's heartland. We've tried to keep them in close proximity to I-80 across Wyoming and Nebraska and State Highway 2 in southern Iowa. While most of them aren't free, they are relatively easy on the pocketbook.
Wyoming
Living history demonstrations take place throughout the summer. An archaeological dig of the original trading post is ongoing.
Moonlight tours of the fort will be the second weekend in July. Re-enactors are inside each building, depicting what life was like back then. Call in advance to make reservations.
Hours: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Admission: $2 per person (18 and older); $1 for Wyoming residents; children admitted free
Directions: Follow I-80 east and take exit 34 into Fort Bridger
